Investigation of physical and mechanical properties of groundnut is essential for design of equipment
for harvesting, processing, transportation, cleaning, sorting, separation and packaging. In this research some
physical properties of groundnut grains were evaluated such as axial dimensions, geometric mean diameter,
thousand grain m ass, true and bulk density and grain volume at moisture content 7.6% dry basis. The sphericity,
aspect ratio, surface area and porosity were 0.69, 56%, 120.82mm2, 36.4% respectively. Static coefficient of
friction for glass, plywood, galvanized steel and concrete structural surfaces were 0.11, 0.13, 0.14 and 0.16,
respectively and angle of repose 28/.
Key words: Groundnut grains, length, moisture content, physical properties, thickness, width,
